Pretty Hard Cases (2021) s03e05 Episode Script

I found this in your pocket.
Purple rain?
You want to tell me who you got it from?
I get the product through
a network of gamers
called the Replicants.
I was about to meet with
my contact, Jake Mardy,
but then a few days ago,
the whole operation went offline.
Jake Mardy?
I mean, I just ask myself,
like how well do I really know Nathan?
Because you know I was
gone for eight months
and I'm putting a whole lot
of my eggs in his basket.
Kel, do you ever
really get over your ex?
Uh I certainly hope
Nathan is over his.
It's probably hard
for him to talk about.
Why?
Oh, he was heartbroken
when Vanessa ended things.
Vanessa's my mom,
that's what I call her.
You've been getting together
with Nathan and your mom?
Just like the last six months,
maybe. Since I started school.
So will you come
home with me tonight?
Are you gonna invite
me to your next dinner
with Tueli and Vanessa?
Kelly
I just wanted to say thank you
for letting me crash here.
- Ugh, men
- Mm-hmm.
You know what? And women
Ugh!
Egg beater!
- Egg beater is two words.
- No, it's one word!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
- Yes!
This is how it's done,
this is how it's done.
Set that timer, set
that timer. Are we ready?
In three, in two, in one, bam! Boom!
- Here we go.
- Mm-hmm.
Two words, TV show,
- Gossip Girl!
- Yes!
One word.
- Hangover!
- Yes!
Off to a great start!
Two words.
Oh! Britney Spears! Yeah!
- Yeah! Okay!
- That's three.
Two words.
Cold. Chicken?
Chicken clucking?
- Cold turkey!
- Yeah!
Cold turkey!
Oh, yes!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Woo!
Are you kidding me? You're cheating,
- you got to be cheating.
- No, no, no, no, no.
It's a mind meld, two peas in a pod,
this is the benefits of oversharing.
Yeah, well, you wait.
Next time, I'm gonna bring
my friend Jen and we're
gonna kick your ass.
Who's Jen?
Uh it's her friend
since she was a kid,
but no one's beaten Skelly!
Ro, we've got this, all right?
Oh, we got this.
We're just playing a
video game downstairs!
We're playing a video game
downstairs, bring the chips.
Yeah. I got it, I got it, I got it.
Okay, you take it.
Kelly?
Kelly, what are you doing?
We talked about this.
I'm giving you and Tueli space.
No, that's not what's
happening right now.
What's happening right now
is that you're mad at me
Because I went out
with my ex a few times
while you were out of town,
because you found out
that she broke up with me
- instead of the other way around!
- Wow!
So, I guess you know what's happening.
- Can we just talk about this?
- No.
I don't even know what
to say to you right now.
Okay.
You want space?
I can give you space.
I'll give you all the space you want.
I had a lot of fun last night.
Yeah, me too, right?
Trivia night at the Crown,
it's always a great time.
- Mm-hmm.
- Anyway, I'll see you later.
Hey, I wanted to talk about Saturday.
I was thinking maybe we
could go to the Aqualounge.
Aqualounge on the east side,
isn't that like a
Like a swinger's club?
Yeah, only on Tuesdays.
On Saturdays, they do shibari workshops,
the art of Japanese rope bondage.
Wow! Yeah.
- Um
- You know what?
It's not your thing, never mind.
It's all good, I'll just go with Brett.
I mean, who said it wasn't my thing?
It's just, you know, 9
o'clock in the morning,
I just need a minute to wrap
my head around this thing.
Right.
You know I had sex on a boat once?
Yeah, in the ocean or a lake,
but it was a good time,
so it's not like I'm
a prude or anything.
Oh my God, you guys!
I was just trying to
convince Naz to come with me
to the Aqualounge on Saturday.
- Yeah.
- Wait hang on,
aren't we hanging out on Saturday?
Kidding! We're on Sunday.
Oh my God, did you see his face?
Yeah, cool.
Sarah, Sara, I I gotta go, so
Give me your calendar. It'll
take two seconds, come on.
- Yeah.
- Naz, if this is going to fly,
we got to integrate.
The love cats gotta work as a team.
Absolutely.
Already had one.
Oh.
Morning, team. Shall we get started?
Jody Maleki, university TA
whose side hustle is selling
purple rain to students.
Apparently, at low doses, it
can enhance both mood and focus,
so it's gaining traction
as both a study drug
and a party drug. Jody
says she bought it online
from a Replicant
member named Jake Mardy.
Our job is to find Jake,
get some concrete evidence against him,
arrest him and find out who's
bringing this stuff into the country.
Unfortunately, Jody's
never met Jake in person,
however, I managed to
find two Jake Mardys,
both of whom have drug records.
So, I'm thinking we
put a team on each
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yeah, I'll be right there.
Uh pick a Jake? Any Jake.
Watch them, see who's coming and going,
bump 'em if you can, I gotta go.
Two, two.
Okay. Can we at least look
at them before we choose?
Finders keepers.
So, I just got a call
from a doctor Fatima Sharma
at the Kornfeld Forensic
Chemistry Institute.
She has the purple rain
chemical analysis ready,
but she wants to discuss
the results in person.
Great. Can I put Naz on it?
No, no, she asked for you specifically.
Okay. Works for me.
Oh, uh-uh, don't bother,
just take that one.
Hey, if it's okay with you,
I'd rather just work
in the office today.
What, you don't want to
come to the Jake recce?
What? No, come on, come on,
come on! Skelly in the house!
- I
- I'm feeling lucky!
I think I need to talk to Nathan.
Thanks.
Hey. Sorry, what did I miss?
Nothing major, but I'm sure
Sam can fill you in on the way,
- is it cool?
- Yeah, sure.
This Jake Mardy is 66 years old,
do you really think he's
selling purple rain online?
I don't know, you never really can tell
with these over 60s because
one time, Judy and I,
we flew to Florida to
surprise my grandparents
for their anniversary,
I walked with a big bunch
of balloons and guess what?
We crashed their swingers' party.
I saw a lot of things
I shouldn't have seen.
I had a lot of questions
that I got no answers for.
Wow. Wow.
Actually, this
May sound kind of weird,
just because you said swingers, um
Sarah wants to take me to a sex club.
You know I don't know,
I I thought that I was
settling into this whole
polyamory thing, but like a sex club?
I don't know, I feel like that's
Well, I mean, it's
intimidating, you know?
Sorry, I don't you know,
do you think I should
- Okay
- Just answer me,
do you think I should go or no way?
- I think wow.
- Yeah.
That there's a I
Okay.
Okay, is it like, um
Is it a good intimidating
or a bad intimidating?
Like, you want to go bungee
jumping or you want to
Enter a chili dog eating contest?
I don't know neither?
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- Wait, here we go.
- Whoa.
What do you want?
You've been here for two
hours, gawking at my house
like a couple of perverts.
- Do you want to?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Okay. Uh Mr. Jake Mardy?
I am Detective Wazowsky,
this is Detective Nazeer,
and we just have like a couple
of questions for you and
Yeah, uh
I'm just gonna get right to it,
have you ever been part
of a criminal organization?
I was raised Catholic, otherwise no.
Well, how do you explain your
drug charges from last year?
That's why you're here?
Okay, fine.
Last December, I let Alfie Petrello
keep his stash in my
shop for all of two hours.
Turns out there was
a tracker on the blow.
I got raided,
told the pigs that that was a mix-up.
Who do you think they believed?
Alfie Senior hired hotshot lawyers
and I spent Christmas in the can!
Thanks for reminding me!
Thank you, Mr. Mardy.
- Not our guy.
- Not our guy.
Not our guy.
Go for chase.
Hey, how's it going over
there with your Jake?
Hard to say, really.
Mid-thirties, big manga fan,
he got a gamer chair with a rumble pack
delivered this morning.
- Pretty sweet chair.
- Sweet chair.
Okay, well, speaking of sweet,
I was just wondering,
are you guys planning on
hitting up Man-Stock this afternoon?
I hear there's a chili
dog eating contest.
Naz and I are willing to head
over if those dogs are calling.
That's very generous, Sam.
Wanna eat hot dogs at Man-Stock?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
The dogs are definitely calling.
Great. Uh we're gonna
be over there in 20.
Great.
Hot dogs.
Huh?
Thank God,
finally getting up to take a pee.
You try reading Vexed
Twins: Gentle Blasphemy
not in one sitting.
- You can't stop.
- No.
Hello! I'm Doctor Fatima Sharma.
Pronouns she and her.
Please, uh call me Fatima.
- Please.
- Hi there, I'm
Just shadowing DS Greene on
this case, but don't mind me.
Ah, I won't.
- Mentorship is a beautiful thing.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm thrilled to be
working with you, Nathan.
I attended your lecture
on identity theft
at the Northeastern Fraud Conference,
- 28 months ago.
- Okay.
I have an extracurricular
passion for fraud prevention
and I found your thoughts on
voice biometrics to be quite, uh
Stirring.
Uh thank you, it's
nice of you to say.
Uh
So, Fatima, you're here
to talk about purple rain?
I am.
After we received your sample,
our lab conducted an
in-depth analysis of the drug
that you're calling purple rain,
which is definitely Schedule A.
We've also been using
international wastewater
analyses to track
where new designer drugs
are being used and so far,
purple rain has only been
found in local wastewater.
So, it's being made in Canada.
We also identified
the precursor chemicals
used to make the drug
and as you can see,
all of them are legal in this country.
But it's not unusual for
designer drugs to be made
from legal chemicals, right?
No, but the steps required to make
purple rain are very sophisticated.
So, we're likely looking for someone
with specialized chemistry knowledge?
Correct!
I imagine at the very least,
they have a master's degree,
- but probably a PhD.
- Oh.
Like me,
first doctor in the family.
Okay!
I don't want to assume
anything about your sexuality,
Nathan, but if you do date women,
are you single, or open to
new partners at the moment?
Oh.
Um
I'm not currently looking
for partners of any gender,
but thank you for asking.
Okay, so I got Sara two on Saturday,
that means Sarah one on Sunday.
You got that's Tuesday
and then Thursday
Jesus, I don't know how you keep up.
You know what? I don't, really.
Like, I'm not good at this.
You know, I'm
I'm trying to keep them all separate,
but then apparently, I'm
supposed to like blend them.
- Wait.
- Integrate them.
Shh. Hold up. There he is.
Holy shit! Oh my God!
- I know that guy.
- What?
That's Jake Benson.
Wow, he
He finally took his mom's last name.
- He hated his dad.
- Who cares?!
Who is Jake Benson?
It's like my old best
friend from high school.
Are you kidding me right now?
You didn't recognize that from the file?
Well, you had the file
and I was on my schedule
your 40 girlfriends!
And maybe we should focus! Stop it!
Okay.
Are you still friends with him?
No! We had a falling out
in like the 11th grade,
I haven't seen him since high school,
what am I supposed to do now?
I'm going to tell you
what you're supposed to do,
you're going to tell me
everything that you know about him.
- Go.
- He likes you know,
all-you-can-eat buffets
and two-for-one meals.
Who doesn't? Be more specific.
Okay! Uh he likes video
games, he hates sauce.
Uh okay! Uh, he's a
really smart guy, actually,
I mean, he's really
into like Japan and like
ecstasy and stuff like that. Uh oh!
He loved my neighbour's
koi pond growing up
and had a crush on my sister
Hi!
I'm Sam from Koi Chicks,
I'm just here for
your pond consultation.
- My what?
- The pond con
It's 37 Harton Street, right?
Yeah, but I didn't schedule anything.
Ugh, God, I'm so sorry. Ugh.
I have, like, dyscalculia,
so I like invert numbers
of like dates and
addresses and normally,
my partner, she does
all the consultations.
I I I'm sorry.
Sorry, what what kind of consults?
Uh koi ponds. I'm a pond installer!
You know, it's funny because I, um
I've wanted a koi pond ever
since I was a little kid.
Are you kidding me?
This is just like weird.
Um okay, for you,
I'm gonna give you a
complimentary consultation,
because we have like,
a really great promo
on at the moment. Uh
two halves of a pond
for the price of a half.
So, a full pond for half price?
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
Uh above grounds are 800, 850.
For you, my friend, I'm gonna throw in
a couple of fish. I'm
gonna give you my card
so you can think about it.
I don't have a card,
I don't have a purse.
Screw it, I'm I'm making bank now,
- let's do it!
- Oh my God,
I like your style. Carpe diem!
Carp 'cause of the
How's tomorrow?
Detective Nazeer, before you continue
with this case, we need to
have a chat about your friend.
First of all, I need
to know if Jake Mardy
knows anything about you
that could become an issue.
Sure. He knows I got
suspended for TP-ing
the portables in grade ten.
So no skeletons?
- No.
- Good.
Were you two close?
Did you grow up in
the same neighbourhood?
Sort of.
Yeah, he was in a high-rise,
I was on a cul-de-sac a few blocks away.
His family was pretty messed up.
You know, he got caught
for selling ecstasy
and that's when my dad made
me stop hanging out with him.
I just kinda felt like an
asshole for ditching him, you know?
I always hoped he could turn it around.
This was 20 years ago and respectfully,
I don't think knowing
a guy in high school
was a reason to take me off this case.
Friendships make things muddy,
professionally speaking,
you know, whether it be
a colleague or a target.
Maybe your loyalty gets in the way.
Maybe you tell him
something you shouldn't,
maybe you make assumptions
about his behaviour
that are no longer useful or relevant.
Take it from me,
compartmentalization is a full-time job.
I have no loyalty to this guy.
If he's dealing this stuff,
I want to get him for it.
Fine.
You can, uh, stay in
the loop if you want,
do some digging, whatever,
but no UC, no surveillance.
Maybe once we get him in,
you can be active in a different way.
Got it. Thank you very much.
And listen, I think I can
be very helpful on this case.
I live in hope.
I love my little aquarium,
but I'm thinking that koi,
it's a bridge too far, even for you.
No, it's not for me, it's for work,
which is why I can't
really talk about it.
I just need to learn how
to install a koi pond.
I mean, that should be pretty
easy and I told my target
that I would build it for him tomorrow,
so we gotta go!
See, I don't think this is a good idea.
But we're already here,
and plus, you told me
that you wanted me to meet
Jen, it's actually perfect.
- I have said that.
- So, what's going on?
I may have spoken a little bit too soon.
Jen can be a bit possessive.
She doesn't want to meet me?
She
doesn't want to meet you.
I'm sorry! Oh, God, she just
She wants the friendship to
be separate, I guess, I
What? Are you kidding me? I
am charming! Look at my cords.
Listen, by the end of this,
we're gonna be braiding
each other's hair and
making plans for pickleball,
I promise you, I will not embarrass you.
Fine.
Let's go around back.
My gosh, this place is
beautiful. I can't
This is amazing.
Are you kidding me?
- Is that a neon mushroom?
- Yeah.
- Just don't touch anything.
- Look at this dragon.
Look at the horns on this baby.
I am not going home without it.
What?
Jen?
- Can I help you?
- Ha!
Oh, my gosh! I just want to hug you.
You know what? I'm
coming in. It's happening.
I'm taking a hug, here we go.
This place is so gorgeous!
Sorry that we didn't call first.
Jen, this is Sam, Sam, this is Jen.
Hello! Oh, my gosh, this one,
she will not shut up
about you, you know?
Foster sisters, each other's rock,
a bond forged in trauma.
Actually, I'm really sorry,
that was highly inappropriate.
I just wanted to say to you
it is so nice to meet you.
- Hi, I'm Sam.
- Sam has a favour to ask.
I don't even know Sam.
Well, any friend of Ro's
That means we're probably
gonna be best buds!
A rising tide, it floats all boats.
Mi casa es su casa.
She gets it, she knows,
she's picking up what
I'm putting down, right?
What do you need?
Oh, wow, we're doing it again, okay.
Not a ton of chemistry PhDs
with drug records. Big surprise.
Naz, is there any way Jake
could be making the drugs?
I mean, you did say he was brilliant.
No, not that kind of brilliant.
The guy failed grade ten chemistry.
Fatima said whoever's making
this stuff is a genius.
Fatima said! Fatima said!
Maybe Doctor Meet-Cute
considers her own skills
a little more rarefied
than they actually are.
Naz, this woman was a whack job.
I mean, fraud prevention
ain't nobody's hobby.
And I mean, nobody finds
voice biometrics stirring.
Do you find it stirring?
Kelly, what do you care?
Any more information on Jake Mardy?
Uh yeah, I mean,
no arrests since 2002,
no known associates,
I haven't been able to find
him on social media yet
But he does own his house
and he has no source of
legal income that I can find.
And his parents, they sure as
hell didn't leave him anything.
Good.
That plus the info from Jody
should be enough for a general warrant.
I'll go check on that.
Why do you need to know about
koi for work? Aren't you a cop?
I'm a detective.
Like a pet detective?
Not a pet detective.
I'm working on a case,
an ongoing investigation,
so I can't talk about it. And
I really would love to talk
about it because I'm a real
oversharer, which you would know
if you gave me half a chance.
If you don't want to help me
learn how to install a koi pond,
I'm sure there's lots
of people who could.
Really? Lots of people?
Okay, maybe not lots,
like maybe, like other
Yeah.
Okay, look, first thing
you need to know about koi
is that they're basically
carp's cousin Tiffany.
- Prettier but
- Oh.
Just higher maintenance
- And undeniably overrated.
- Okay.
Do you know how to pick one up?
No, I do not. I do not know how.
- Okay. Just get your hands wet.
- Sure.
- And lift from underneath.
- Yeah.
- Okay, head facing toward you.
- Yes.
- Yep.
- Yes.
Open your fingers so you
don't bruise the fins.
- Yes.
- Okay, and then the other hand
just holds the back half.
- Okay, okay.
- Yep.
So, it's not actually a magical koi,
it needs water to breathe.
- Yes. Yeah. Ah!
- Okay. Yep.
Yeah.
All right, Sam's out here,
she says she has something
that she wanted to show us.
No way!
Welcome to the pond, master!
Okay. Koi Chicks, really?
Okay, listen, I know that
it's not the best name,
it's a bit retro, but it
just popped into my head
and this is a bit much,
but it was the only thing
big enough in the impound
that you could move a whole pond with.
But how'd you get my silhouette, though?
I'll tell you how, from memory!
Okay, that's really creepy as hell.
I love the jackets. You didn't happen
to make any extra, did you?
Uh what do you think?
All right, so we'll set up the pond.
That should be a breeze.
Then you fondle koi with
Jake while I sneak inside,
see if I can find anything to
connect Jake with purple rain.
- All right.
- Nathan, we all good?
Hello? Nathan?
Hello!
Calm down.
I just gotta get my earpiece in place.
You know the best way
to piss someone off?
Tell 'em to calm down.
Or tell them nothing at
all, that always works great.
Hey.
Is there a bit of an
energy between you two?
Energy?
Romantic energy.
She's my girlfriend.
Well my partner
Partner, part
Actually, I don't know
what we are right now.
Nice.
I knew there was a vibe.
Just felt it, you know?
Who are you vibing with right now?
Oh, I have a group chat
going with Watts and Swallows.
Just zinger after zinger.
Constant hilarity.
Okay, is this the filter or the pump?
That's definitely the
filter. It's the pump.
- This is the filter?
- That's the pump.
- That's the filter. I don't know.
- Wait, this is the pump?
- What's the manual say?
- Well, I lost part of it.
- Do you speak Japanese?
- Yo, Jake!
Oh, hey.
What the hell is this?
I thought we were having a meeting.
Yeah.
What are you up to?
What's happenin'? You know?
Like the joke. And then
And then, watts replied,
"what's happenin'?"
But way too long, like
so many extra letters.
Hey, Koi Chick.
Nice kicks.
- Beetroot.
- Yeah, good eye!
You, uh
Must be a sneakerhead?
Yeah, a little bit.
Picked up the Grateful 3s last week.
- Nice.
- Now, I just gotta help my buddy Jake here.
You know, before he met me,
he used to shop at Payless.
- Oh, come on.
- Yeah, well
I was making minimum wage,
so I wasn't gonna
Spend my paycheque on shoes.
And not everyone has a trust fund.
Yeah, those were the good old days.
Gotta hustle now, right?
Hey.
You what I'm saying?
You got a bathroom I could use?
Yeah, sure.
Just inside, to the right.
Thanks.
All right!
What do you say we name these fish?
Nathan,
you got a shot of the guy
who just came in the back?
yeah, I'm running it right now.
Any idea who he is?
Ah, his name is Krish,
maybe he's 35,
said they had a meeting.
working on it.
They're awesome!
- What do you think we should call them?
- Uh I got one, I got one.
David Schwimmer.
I love it! Yeah, David Schwimmer.
Kel? What what's going on? You okay?
Shh!
Yeah, I'm fine, just trying to
get this lobster to turn off!
What the hell is that?
Jake, seriously?
Kelly, we got a really bad
case of fin rot out here,
it's terrible, you should come out!
- Jesus, fin rot? Are they okay?
- Yeah, yeah, it just
needs to be treated
immediately, like, right away.
Kelly! You can come out and
see the rotten fin, please!
Hey, did you hear
some some music or
- Something like that?
- Oh, that was me singing.
Gotta love those old girl groups, right?
In the bathroom?
Yeah, you got a problem with that?
No, no, no! What
Hey, whatever whatever works for you.
Cool, cool.
- You gotta do you, right?
- Yeah! Yeah, got to.
What happened? Everything okay?
Yeah, we just have
like, a case of fin rot,
so I just wanted to
talk to you about it.
Did you find anything? Oh,
my gosh, bit of a mix-up.
I just consulted with
my colleague over here.
Guess what? It's not fin
rot, it's fin nip. Yay.
So that's some really good news for you.
And this is what we're gonna
do, we're gonna head out.
Invoice is gonna be in the
mail and you enjoy those fish!
Thank you very much, it
was lovely meeting you both.
- Have a wonderful day!
- Yeah.
So, you're picking up at Yoyo's tonight?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll be holding by six.
Cool.
Enjoy your fish.
Great, Yoyo's at six.
- Yeah. What the hell is Yoyo's?
- I have no idea.
Hey, do you want to carry this?
- Oh, no.
- Okay.
Maybe it's the frozen yoghurt place?
We've got a problem.
Apparently, there's construction,
something about a busker.
Spin team lost him,
but we know Jake has a pickup at six pm
at a place called Yoyo's,
so if we can figure
out what Yoyo's is
Could be a yo-yo convention?
Watts and I got flyers at Man-Stock.
Okay. Um
There's also a Yoyo's
toe and foot day-spa
that has, wait, extremely low ratings.
Oh, gosh! Someone caught
hand-foot-and-mouth
- disease there.
- Oh, the coxsackie virus.
Coxsackie virus is no joke.
I mean, the blisters alone
Hey, what about Yoyo's exotic
lounge on St. Clair West?
- Used to be run by bikers.
- Yeah, the strip club.
Yeah that's what I
heard when I drove by.
Well, I think I remember Jake and I
trying to get in there with fake IDs.
We were like 14, I remember
the bouncer laughed at us.
Do you think he'd still hang out there?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Actually, yeah, no, that
does sound about right.
The Jake I know was really
into that kind of stuff,
big Hentai fan, you know, anime porn.
I don't know what that is.
Anyway, I figure that,
strip clubs, all of it.
- You know?
- All right, sounds like a lead.
If we're going in there,
we're gonna need backup.
I'm gonna send some uniforms
over there right away.
Naz, sorry my man. I
wish you could come!
Hey! Hey! Guys!
Listen, I messed up.
Yoyo's isn't a strip club,
Yoyo is Jake Mardy's girlfriend,
Yolanda Pesci, I found
her on his Viewpix.
No, he's not on social, we all looked.
No, it's under a fake name.
It's linked to an old e-mail address
that he had in seventh grade,
diahrea85@hotmail.
Where do we find Yoyo?
She is at 86 Marine Drive,
- condo 3F.
- All right, come on.
- Do you think we'll make it
- We'll keep you posted.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey!
Eyes on Jake, eyes on Jake.
Hey, go for Jake! I'll go for the drugs!
Guys, Jake's on the move.
All right, guys, we're
arriving on the scene.
Heading to the south end of the lot.
uh where's our target?
Travelling in a red car.
- Red car, got him.
- Good.
- Eyes on Jake.
Trying to cut him off from the back.
Kelly's on her way too.
Stop! Stop!
Stop! GTPD!
Get up!
Jake Mardy, you're under arrest!
Come on.
So, Yolanda, how long has Jake Mardy
been putting his drugs in your car?
I told you, I don't know the guy.
How did he get your keys?
I lost my extra key, maybe he found it.
Okay, Yolanda,
cut the crap because we
have photos of the two of you
making out on Viewpix.
Okay, fine, he's my boyfriend.
I still had no idea he was
keeping drugs in my car.
How long have you two been dating?
Six months, but I promise you,
I don't know anything about this.
Okay. Uh
Yolanda
What did you want to
be when you grew up?
I don't know. Uh
A hand model.
A hand model?
Why not a vet or a rock star?
Maybe even a ballerina?
You know what, as a wise man
once said, any dream will do.
The point is it is still not too
late for you to go after your dreams.
I think it actually might be.
Is that a foot?
Uh you know what,
let's just put a pin in it,
I mean, what do kids
know? When I was a kid,
- I wanted to be a unicorn, so
- How about now?
What are your goals now?
Well, I kinda
Want to become my own girlboss.
My aunt has been selling
hydra-nutriderma products
and she made all these new friends
and manifested attending this
wicked conference in Vegas.
Okay, so are you really
willing to give up on becoming
a hydra-nutriderma girlboss
to rot in prison for a guy that
you've only known for six months?
You know what, if you tell
us about the operation,
maybe we can manifest a deal for you.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe this was meant to happen,
to push me to go for it.
Fine, what do you want to know?
Who's making the drugs?
I don't know, but you
should definitely ask Krish.
- Why?
- Because
He's the head of the Replicants.
Huh.
Uh we just came because
Um, we're trying to strategize
how to approach Jake.
We're gonna go, we can
go somewhere else.
I want to do it.
It's just that
Gloria wants us to
Turn him to use him as an informant.
Yeah, I know.
I talked to her and it's okay.
Sure.
Hey, buddy.
Nazeer?
Right, yeah, I
I heard you became a cop.
Wait, did you
Were you part of all this?
Not really, no. I, uh
I backed off when I
found out it was you.
So, what are you doing here, then?
Well, I'm here to offer you a deal.
Oh. How kind of you, yeah, a deal
From my old pal Taai.
The same guy who ghosted
me, what, 20 years ago?
Yeah, I'm thinking no, thank you.
Come on, man.
They got you on possession
with intent to distribute.
The drugs were in Yolanda's car,
how was I in possession of them?
You can stop all that,
Yolanda told us everything.
We know that you're a Replicant.
We know that Krish is your boss.
We know that you've been
distributing purple rain
through an online chat room,
and we know that that
system's been shut down.
What we don't know
Is how big this thing is,
or who's making the drugs.
If you cooperate,
I can patch you out as
a confidential informant
and you can help us get Krish.
Get the manufacturer,
bring the whole thing down.
Isn't it ironic?
Oh my God, dude.
The original snitch
wants to turn me into a snitch?
I mean, seriously, that's messed up.
How am I a snitch?
You're the whole reason I got expelled!
Kicked out of Humberside for selling E.
Come on.
The principal said you told her.
So, I got shit canned.
I didn't tell them anything.
Jake, look at me, I
I didn't tell her anything.
If she told you that I did,
it's just to get you to talk.
It's one of the oldest
tricks in the book.
This must be so hard on Naz.
Naz will be fine. You know, we got a
Replicant in custody, a possible CI
and a trunk full of
purple rain off the street.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess.
Just
What if they stayed friends?
Maybe Jake wouldn't
be in this situation.
Just one misunderstanding.
Just one.
They never speak again.
And then,
it's like their lives diverge forever.
Yo! Sarah! Hey! Hold up.
Hey, what's going on?
Listen, uh I'm good for Saturday.
What?
Oh.
Oh no, that's
That's fine, I
I didn't mean to put any
pressure on you at all.
I
I really want to be able
to talk about things, okay?
Because when you don't talk about things
is when everything goes to shit
and I don't want that
to happen, all right?
You want to go do this thing?
I want to know about it,
I want to even try it maybe.
I'm not saying that I'm gonna
Love it or anything,
but you know what I mean?
I I want to try.
Okay.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
To your work win.
To you.
Mmm.
And Jen, she's great, your friend.
Yay, Jen!
It's okay, Sam.
Like, I love Jen, but she
can be a bit of a bitch.
You said it.
Uh yeah, I mean,
that's why all my friends
in high school were terrified of her
and we always had this weirdly
compartmentalized friendship.
Well, I think it's
You know, I think it's okay
to keep things separate, sometimes.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna
make you two hang out.
No, I do mean that, I think
it's good to have space,
you know, be different
versions of ourselves
- with different people.
- That's true.
Sometimes with Jen, I
It's like I'm right back in high school.
It's weird that you should mention that.
Uh one of my coworkers,
another detective,
was best buds in high school
with our koi-loving drug dealer.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
20 years later, they still know
how to get under each other's skin.
I guess you just can't shake
that type of friendship.
Well, that's why it's
good to have a friendship
without baggage for a change.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Let's down it.
- Mmm.
Can I get you anything?
Um a beer would be
nice, if you got it.
What you cooking?
Fish chowder.
Please.
Look, Nathan, you're right.
I am petrified.
I've been gone for eight months and
You and I have barely
spent any time together,
and I don't know what you're thinking,
I don't know how you're feeling.
I think I've been pretty
clear how I'm feeling.
Yeah you're right, you have.
Then, I got insecure about
Your ex and
You know, I was thinking
maybe you thought I wasn't
living up to
Whatever you thought I
should be, I don't know.
Maybe that I was super annoying
or arrogant
or so difficult,
never thinking about anybody
but yourself, Kelly Marie duff.
Okay, I don't think you're difficult,
except when you're not talking to me,
but I've never thought,
said or felt any of that other stuff.
Well
That's what my mother told
me every night of my life.
Well, the nights when
she was there, which
Was barely ever.
Me and Karina, raising four little kids.
I was a kid practically myself,
I was like 12.
So, in the end,
I thought that the lone
wolf was the best way to go.
Kelly.
I'm sorry.
Nathan.
I love you.
So much.
With every part of me.
And you're a good man.
You're like the best
relationship I've ever been in.
And all I want,
all I want is
just to be with you.
And I want to stop.
I want to stop playing these games,
I want to stop playing
defence and being so stupid.
Okay, that's okay.
Let's do that.
Let's stop playing games,
let's stop playing defence.
Let's do this thing.
All in.
What? Like
Yeah, let's get married.
I'm not kidding.
I don't want the stupid stuff, okay?
No rings, no parties
No stupid stuff, no rings, no parties.
Just you and me.
All in.
I'm trying to grow old with you.
